Sargent 9713 RHR 32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Sargent 9713 exit device latch a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The 9713 is a surface vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into the frame edge, which is what lets it secure the inactive or active leaf of a pair with no center mullion in the opening. It works on single doors too. If you want a device that latches into a mullion or a frame strike instead, that is a rim or mortise-lock device, not this one.
2) What does classroom function mean on a Sargent 9713 exit device?
Classroom function means free egress at all times from the push side, with the outside controlled by key. On the 9713 that arrangement ships less trim, so the outside trim is a separate order line. For a school corridor door this is the usual pick: teachers key the outside, and anyone inside pushes and walks out during a lockdown or a fire.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Sargent 9713?
Yes, handing is fixed at the order. The 9713 is built either LHR (left hand reverse) or RHR (right hand reverse), and it is not field reversible. Stand outside the door, on the side you pull from: if the hinges are on your right, it is right hand reverse. Get this wrong and the device does not go on the door. If you need a non-handed device so your shop can stock one part for both leaves, the Von Duprin 9875 wide stile mortise exit device is non-handed.
4) Does the Sargent 9713 come with outside trim, or do I order the lever separately?
The 9713 ships less trim. The classroom lever or pull for the outside is a separate line on the order, so budget for it and confirm the trim finish matches the device finish you picked. If you would rather buy a device that is exit only with no outside trim at all, the Falcon 25-M-EO and the BEST Precision 2301 are exit only mortise devices.
5) I have an aluminum narrow stile storefront door - can I use a Sargent 9713 on it?
The Sargent 9713 is a wide stile device, so a narrow stile aluminum door needs a different chassis. The Adams Rite 8400 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device built for aluminum doors, and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors that is field reversible. Both of those are life safety rather than fire rated, so on a labeled aluminum opening confirm the fire requirement before specifying.
6) Which alternatives to the Sargent 9713 are fire rated, and which are not?
The Sargent 9713 is UL Fire and Panic listed. Among the comparable wide stile mortise devices, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is fire rated and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is 3 hour fire rated. The Adams Rite 8300 Series, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT, the Von Duprin 9875-3FT and the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series are life safety devices that are not fire rated. On a labeled opening that distinction decides the specification, so match the device to the door label before ordering.
7) What is a Grade 1 mortise exit device that takes classroom lever trim if I am not using the Sargent 9713?
The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 mortise exit device that accepts passage or classroom lever trim, with the trim ordered separately, and it is fire rated for 3 hour openings on 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 9713 is a Grade 1 classroom function device that ships less trim, so both take the same approach of pairing a device with separately specified lever trim. The difference is that the 9713 is a surface vertical rod device latching top and bottom of the door, while the ED5600AL is a mortise lock device latching at the strike jamb.
8) Are the Von Duprin 8875 and 9875 mortise exit devices a direct swap for a Sargent 9713?
They are not a like for like swap. The Von Duprin 8875-3FT is a wide stile crossbar mortise exit device and the 9875-3FT is a smooth case wide stile mortise exit device, both Grade 1, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and both latch through a mortise lock at the jamb. The Sargent 9713 is a surface vertical rod device that latches at the top and bottom of the door through two-point latching, so the door and frame preparation and the strike locations are different. Both Von Duprin devices are also listed as not wood door compatible.
9) Is the Sargent 9713 exit device ANSI Grade 1?
Certified to ANSI A156.3 - 2008 Grade 1, which is the heaviest duty class for exit devices and what most school, hospital and government specs call for on a corridor or stair door. For a facility standardizing across openings, that is the same grade carried by the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, the Falcon 25-M-EO, the Detex 30 Series and the Von Duprin 98/99 mortise devices.
10) The top and bottom latches on my vertical rod device are not catching. Can the Sargent 9713 be adjusted?
Yes. Top and bottom latchbolt projection on the 9713 adjusts through the center case, so you can dial in both latch points without pulling the rods off the door. That is what you use when the door sags, the frame is out slightly, or the head strike sits a hair high after install.
11) What are the vertical rods on the Sargent 9713 made of, and will they hold up outdoors?
The rods are 1/2 inch (13mm) and come in brass, bronze or stainless steel. Stainless is the one to specify on an exterior door, a pool deck or a coastal building where corrosion is the concern. Pair it with a 32D satin stainless or 32 bright stainless device finish so the rods and the case match.
12) Do I need a special threshold for the bottom latch on a Sargent 9713?
No special threshold is required. The standard bottom latch on the 9713 works with a latchtrack threshold, so if the opening already has one the bottom rod latches straight into it. On a plain floor the bottom latch takes a floor strike instead.
13) Should I use a surface vertical rod device like the Sargent 9713 or a mortise lock exit device?
It comes down to the opening. A surface vertical rod device latches top and bottom, which is what you want on a pair with no mullion, or where you need the extra pull-resistance of two latch points. A mortise lock exit device latches once into the jamb, has nothing running up the face of the door and nothing at the floor to collect dirt, which makes it the cleaner choice on a single door. Wide stile mortise alternatives include the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, the Von Duprin 9875 and the Falcon 25-M-EO.
14) I have a Corbin Russwin ED5600AL on a classroom door. Is the Sargent 9713 an equivalent?
Same duty class and same function intent, different latching. Both are Grade 1 and both are the classroom setup where a lever trim controls the outside; the ED5600AL is a mortise device that latches into the jamb, while the 9713 latches with vertical rods at the head and sill. They are not a swap into the same door prep. If you are replacing an ED5600AL and want to reuse the existing prep, stay with a mortise device; go to the 9713 when you are also moving to a pair of doors or want two-point latching.
15) What mortise exit device works on a wood door if the Detex 30 and Von Duprin 8875 do not?
The Detex 30 Series, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT and the Von Duprin 9875-3FT are all listed as not wood door compatible. The Adams Rite 3300 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile fire rated mortise exit device for wood and hollow metal doors, and the Adams Rite 8300 Series is the Grade 1 wide stile life safety version for the same door types. On a wood classroom door where a fire label applies, the 3300 Series is the fire rated one of that pair.
16) What is a simpler exit only alternative if the classroom lever trim is not needed?
If the opening only needs egress and no outside lever, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device in exit only form for 1-3/4 inch doors at 36 inches, and the BEST Precision 2301 is a mortise exit device in exit only form with heavy wrought construction. The Detex 30 Series Advantex is another Grade 1 wide stile device supplied as device only, exit only. The Sargent 9713 differs in that its classroom function is meant to work with outside trim, and it latches at two points top and bottom rather than at the jamb.
17) For a high abuse opening such as a gym or a school corridor, what push pad exit device competes with the Sargent 9713?
The Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise lock exit device with a recessed push pad, which keeps the pad out of the line of cart and equipment strikes. The Sargent 9713 is a Grade 1 wide stile device built around 1/2 inch brass, bronze or stainless steel rods with top and bottom latching. Choosing between them comes down to whether the opening is better served by a recessed pad on a jamb latching device or by two-point latching at the head and sill.
18) What finishes does the Sargent 9713 come in for matching the rest of my building?
Twelve finishes, in both handings: 03 bright brass clear coated, 04 satin brass clear coated, 09 bright bronze clear coated, 10 satin bronze clear coated, 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, 10BL dark oxidized satin bronze clear coated, 20D dark statuary bronze lacquered, 32 bright stainless steel, 32D satin stainless steel, BSP black suede powder coat and WSP white suede powder coat. For a fleet of school or office doors, 32D is the usual standard; BSP and WSP are the ones to pick when the device has to disappear into a painted door.
